I don't usally enter the post very often but just had to put in my two cents here, I grew up on the prairie of South Dakota and was cultivating corn with a Farmall M and 238 cult. in 1951 when I was 9 years old. My folks bought a new Farmall 350 diesel in 1958 which I drove home brand new. (Still have 350 and was my first restoration and what started me doing this)Worked on the farm until done wirh school, then spent time in the army.came home and spent 40 years working for a Power Co, During this time I did not have as much time to spend on tractors as I would like to have as the time needed to raise a family took more time and money. I have 3 boys and 1 girl who like to spend time working on projects, going to shows and tractor drives. The problem is that they are in the same place as I was 45 years ago in that they have families and responsibilities that take precedense over old tractors. I hope that in a few years that they will take some of my tractors and continue doing what us oldsters are doing now. I am also teaching my grandkids how great it is to drive an old tractor. This way they put the pressure on mom and dad to continue also. (Called burning the candle from both ends.) I believe that all we can do is keep promoting the sport and the young people will respond. Looking back it seems funny that we love doing today what we hated doing yesterday.
